The con-artist comedy American Hustle and the 3-D space odyssey Gravity lead the Academy Awards with 10 nominations each, including nods for best picture.

Nine films were nominated for best picture. The other nominees are 12 Years a Slave, Captain Phillips, Dallas Buyers Club, Her, Nebraska,The Wolf of Wall Street and Philomena.

12 Years a Slave narrowly trailed Gravity and American Hustle with nine nominations.

The most notable omission for a nomination was Tom Hanks for his lead performance in Captain Phillips. Robert Redford, expected by many to be nominated for the shipwreck drama All Is Lost, also missed out on a best actor nod. Redford has never won an acting Oscar.
